Abstract (en)

An object of the present invention is to provide a board connector including a fixing member having high holding reliability and good space efficiency. A board connector 10 includes a connector housing 20 which is made of resin and in which terminal fittings 80 connectable to conductive portions of a board 90 are to be mounted, and fixing members 60 which are made of metal and fix the connector housing 20 to the board 90. Each fixing member 60 includes a housing mounting portion 61 to be mounted on a wall surface of the connector housing 20 and both front and rear end portions of the housing mounting portion 61 are inserted and held in mounting grooves 26 formed in the wall surface of the connector housing 20. The housing mounting portion 61 is formed with a first rib 71 projecting while extending in forward and backward directions, and a second rib 72 extending in forward and backward directions and arranged to fit within the height range of the first rib 71 with respect to a height direction perpendicular to forward and backward directions.
